More information and speculation
:::Thanks both. Assuming it's the same Harry Whitehouse (which seems more than likely), then the wagon suggests his business was based at Stourport which could explain why he wasn't mentioned in the Kidderminster directory.
:::Looking at the 1938 Britain from Above picture on the [[Kidderminster mainline station]] page, virtually the whole of the land south of the stadium seems have been a quarry at that point. I assume that and the area opposite the Kidderminster Shed accessed from the H Whitehouse siding are the two Aggborough Quarries referred to. It's frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a Britain from Above picture covering the latter area or the Kidderminster Shed. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 15:33, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
::::In 1897, GRC&W built an 8 ton wagon for E.B. Mason Sand Quarries, Stourport, marked "Empty to Sand Quarries, Stourport". One possibility is that the Stourport sand quarry that both the Mason and Whitehouse wagons were to be returned to was [[Wilden Sand Siding]] as there is no information yet on who owned or operated it, although going by the OS maps, it was not built until after [https://maps.nls.uk/view/120899311 1901].--[[User:Graham Phillips 110|Graham Phillips 110]] ([[User talk:Graham Phillips 110|talk]]) 21:34, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
